Foreign Divorce: Risks and Rewards for Americans Abroad
Paper by Marjory D Fields and David Truex outlining some of the issues
to be considered when Americans become involved in European divorces,
with particular reference to England and Wales. Includes a unique analysis
of the recent English Court of Appeal decision in Miller v Miller
[2005] EWCA Civ 984 from a New York perspective suggesting that, contrary
to what some English commentators are whispering, the £5 million
awarded to Mrs Miller was not unduly generous. And on 24 May 2006 the
House of Lords agreed with us! See Miller; McFarlane
[2006] UKHL 24.
